Dune Iraq
How do you like this cast suggestion:

Spice: oil
Emperor: Bush&Cheney
Harkonnen: Likudniks&Neocons; Sharon, alias the Fat Man? ;)
Beast Rabban: Allawi
Sardaukars: Marines
Fremen: Jihad Resistance
Guild&Smuglers: EU&UN
Bene Tleilaxu: China&Iran
Bene Gesserit: Sistani&Marjyah
Paul Atreides: As-Sadr

Granted, maybe so far Al-Sadr does not seem to be quite up to the task of Muad Dib, the Mehdi, but at the moment I can't think of a better candidate. Perhaps the real new Saladin is still hiding somewhere.

Could Princess Irulan be, BTW, Condoleezza Rice? Marriage between Condi and As-Sadr, ehm...? :D

Other suggestions?
